Are the lu52.dll and the others in the same directory as the .exe?

Yes.
Further notes:
- Using Steam version.
- Replaced .dll files with known goods from Sunburn (see "Unable to load game after update" thread) with same result.
- Installed "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4" x64 as suggested in threads for similar problem; same result.
I wonder where the program is looking for this .dll.
I hate stabbing in the dark like this, but I'll try the other suggestion of clean install with anti-virus disabled, which will take all day because my internet is slow. I highly doubt this will solve the problem of the program looking for the .dll in the wrong location, but I will report results.

Guys, try installing the X86 redistributable, even though you have a 64 bit computer. You should have both x64 and x86 installed.

Dont need 2013.
here's what your installed programs list should look like, red outline is the one that fixed this for me in closed beta.
